Reviewer Comments:
Great location to everything in New Buffalo! Perfect for a girls weekend.
The house was exactly what we were looking for. It was clean and easy to check in. The location was perfect! We were able to walk to all of the shopping, restaurants and spa! The hot tub was the perfect addition. Would definitely stay here again.
We had a fantastic time! The place was clean and beautiful. Had everything we needed for a short girls trip stay, and very close to downtown. Highly recommend!
Stayed for a little weekend trip to New Buffalo. The house is very cute, clean, and great walkability to downtown New Buffalo. Easy check in and out process. Would recommend!
Perfect location and was walking distance to downtown. The host was also quick to respond to any questions I had. Nothing but good things to say about this stay. Definately will be back.
We had such a relaxing stay at The Sands! As soon as we arrived, we dropped our bags and headed to Barney’s—just a few steps away—to stock up on groceries for the weekend. The location is perfect, within walking distance to the main strip and Beer Church!The couches were incredibly comfortable, and I really appreciated the welcome binder and the variety of pillow firmness on each bed.The hot tub was the perfect touch for our girls’ getaway!Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Everything was great. Place is very clean and well organized. Good location and walking distance to restaurants, a bit of a walk to the beach if you have a lot of gear but also a quick ride in car. Loved that backyard with fire pit! Would stay again.
This house is perfect for a little get away. I’ve gone once for a girls weekend and now for a two family get away and both times it’s been exactly what was needed. Clean, well stocked, great location.
Property was immaculately clean. Well maintained, everything in working order. Plenty of room for the 3 of us on a college reunion weekend. Our only regret was that we didn’t stay longer!
Very nice place to stay. Close enough to walk to most places. Would suggest to putting a mirror in each bedroom--hard to get ready having to share mirror in bathroom or the one in the living room. Needed blankets and owner responded immediately and brought them to us ASAP!! Hot tub was great!

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Updated and great location
The key feature of the property was that it is walkable to shops, dining and beach access in New Buffalo. It was clean and offered nice layout with an extra bed/trundle and 2 bathrooms. The TVs are not streaming accessible and lacked instructions for use and host service was unable to troubleshoot. The house lacked personal touches of a home and included a book of many rules.
Adequately sized clean house with three bedrooms and two baths. Well managed. Like cleanliness. Easy walk to places even with youth. Adequate parking for three cars.
We had a 3. I guy stay for the two of us and our teenager. The house was up to date and comfortable. We could walk into town for all of the restaurants, but the street was very quiet. Hot tub was nice for relaxing!

The property description was accurate. The property was very clean and comfortable. We were able to take advantage of everying in downtown New Buffalo. The lack of cable t.v. was a bit disaapointing. The 10a check out and the 4p check in was frustrating as standard times of 11a check out and 3p check in are the standard.

We had a great 4 days. The area has wonderful eateries. The house was clean, with the exception of the hot tub. My one concern was the bedding. The middle room bed is extremely uncomfortable. The sheets were uncomfortable on all the beds. The blankets were not really for beds-they were more like light weight throws.

We had a wonderful time. The home was clean and close to everything. We were able to walk most places. The outdoor space was great for the little ones we were with to play or just relax from a day at the beach.
